Uneaeiness EeIt-

CITY OF MEXICO, September 22.-There is
a good deal Of uneasiness IN political circles
regarding the rumOred attempt of Guate-
mala to secure the support of the United
States government against Mexico. 1t is
felt here that such a step would do much to
disturb the pleasant, relations existing be-
tween Mexico and the United States, which
at present are inducing heavy investments
of American capital here. The case against
Guatemala is this: ''Insults have been Of
fered to members of the Mexican legation
there, which, it is said, have not been prop
erly atOned for, and, while the Mexican gov
eminent is not acting extensively toward
Guatemala, 1t is demanding Just cOmpensa-
ton for assaults on officials of legation. The
fight on Guatemala Is largely clerical con-
fict and assumes the aspect of a religious
war, and many politicians here say they do
not believe the United States will interfere
in SO delicate NATTER

VEealfhv AnnIic.nt - : PensInn-

WASHINGTON, D. O., September 2O.-One
of the most singular cases Of pensiOn-sesk-
ing Is that Of Colonel A. Andrews, of
San Francisco, the proprietor of
what he claims to be the most
beautiful jewelry establishment in the
world The colonel says he has two particu-
lar objects in coming to Washington at this
time. He wants to shake President Cievs-
land by the hand and express his gladness in
meeting another honest man." and he
wants to arrange about the payment of a
pension to which, as Commissioner
Black has informed him by let
ter, he is entitled as a veteran Of
the Mexican war. His diamond palace, 5"
as he calls it, is fitted up with such
reckless extravaganza that the classic paint
ings which decorate the ceiling of his stor5
are embelished with $4,000 worth of jew
els. Queen Esther's head in the picture
wears a tiara of real diamonds. Being
asked how ne could reconcile his wealth
with his coming to Washington In search OF
pension, he excused himself by saying he
had already donated the pension to one who
had more need Of the money.

New York, September pa Washington
special says: A Kentucky democrat who en-
Joys most intimate political relations with
Speaker Carlisle made YESTERDAY the follow
ing statement.
We are going to pass a revenue meas
ure this winter. 1t is true that no
definite plan was outlined during the
recent visit of Carlisle to Oakview,
but it was unquestiOnabIe decided that
the party policy demanded that this should
be done. More than this, President Clevs-
land emphatically stated to Speaker Carlisle
that he would do his part IN bringing it
about. He said he should employ vigorous
measures, If necessary, to reach this result.
Carlisle promised that he would be equally
firm. Precisely what the president meant
by vigorous measures the informant could
not say, but he, a. well as others of Carlisle's
friends, construed it to mean that Randall
was to be taken from the head of the apprO-
prlatlon committee and placed In some pO-
sltiOn where his influence will be practically
ueutraliZed.

LONDON, September 21.-The Times, com
menting on the speech made by Dillon at
the meeting of the National league in Linn

'DillOn's speech reads rather like an IN

ingly in its task of vindicating the law"
The Standard says:
''Ihe law is now a reality. The power has

sans. Dillon and his kind are naturally
anxious to sustain the errors Of the league.
We do not disguise from ourselves the fact
that the struggle will be a sharp one"
